QUINCY — A Boston man is accused of attacking several people at a Super Bowl watch party in Braintree.

Sasquan Gorman, 27, was charged with assault and battery on a pregnant victim, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and three additional counts of assault and battery. Gorman was arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court and held on $1,500 cash bail. He is due back in court Feb. 27.

Police said they arrived to a McCusker Drive apartment in Braintree just after 11 p.m. after being called about Gorman attacking several people. Police said the alleged victims told them that Gorman had been drinking and that a discussion about race became heated and morphed into an altercation. Police said Gorman attacked several people including a pregnant woman and had kicked a man, according to a police report filed with court. Police said that Gorman grabbed the pregnant woman by the throat.

Police said that Gorman was aware that the woman was pregnant. Police said he was pulled over leaving the apartment complex where the alleged attacks took place and was arrested. Police said that Gorman is on probation until 2023.
